I am even more confused?
The studies on psilocin and lysergic acid analogs for treatment of depression and cluster headache, respectively, were extremely slow in progressing due to systemic denial by review boards (due to schedule II listings that do nit make sense, same as for weed), and likewise by the perpetual, relentless cockblocks in terms of grant money from government endowments for sciences.
The conspiracy types say it is due to big pharma, but that does not compute; a similarly mind altering compound found in ergot fungus has been on the market for decades. The more likely explanation is that the general public had an incorrect view about the drugs, and kept electing congress critters that fought the research attempts, for decades.
If you check, and dig in my post history, you will find my stance has consistently been "shows promise as a research candidate, needs approval for studies for efficacy and dosing." Over and over again.
I am actually quite particular about what goes in my body, drug wise. I tend to avoid NSAIDS, even though they are quite useful drugs, except when I actually need them, for instance. My kidneys and liver likely thank me for it.
Again, i did in fact look up the ingredients for the Moderna vac. Does not even have a preservative. Explains the extreme storage temps.
I am of the opinion that just because some people abuse a substance, does not remove its genuine uses. Alcohol, for instance, is very useful as a solvent for medications, as a disinfectant, and even as a cleanser. (Really, it cleans coffe stains of coffee cups like magic!)
In the radical pushback against "Duggies!" And "Hippies!", and the reactionism to Moral Panic, many useful drugs have been kept at arms reach, while people suffered. Cluster headache sufferers especially.
Poo is correct though, that I do not agree that high doses of psilocin are beneficial-- the research that HAS managed to get done, despite the cockblocking by govt, indicates very low, sub-psychedelic doses are safe and effective.
The goal is to help medication resistant depression sufferers live happy and fulfilling lives, not to watch the walls melt.
Likewise with LSD and cluster headache. The idea is to help people who suffer nightmare fuel intensity headaches, not to put them in purple haze.
Minimum effective dose.
Very important. That both substances have such dosages, that are well tolerated and dont have hallucinogenic side effects, is just proof they were wrongly listed as schedule II.
Now.
About this virus.
This virus has been associated with multiple organ damage, loss of reproductive function in both men and women, significant and persistent loss of lung function, damage to the central nervous system, and a bunch of others.
YOU DO NOT WANT TO CATCH IT.
The lingering and persistent health effects caused by this pandemic will reverberate in the healthcare profession, and in general public health, for decades after this is over.
Just because some economists are shitting blood over lost opportunity costs, does not mean the virus is a harmless cold.
Its fucking not. It wrecks your body in a lot of alarming ways.
Avoid contracting it. For your sake, and others.
